Really? For rock, alternative and metal the tma-1 is better? How so? I thought m50 sounds clearer? Meh I'll try them both to decide. What about some old songs? Like 80s songs such as one night in bangkok, take on me, and new songs like paradise by coldplay? I've been listening to a few headphones with paradise. Not all of them deliver the perfect sound balance for the song.
*
The TMA-1 does have an aggressive sound signature great for genres you had mentioned. If a more balanced sound is preferred, do check out the AKG Q460s.

Besides Jaben, you can try out both the M50 and the TMA-1 at Tong Lee Co. as well, ground floor of Low Yat Plaza. nod.gif

a bit cheaper than beats solo..fenny wang 3001 is better than 2001? hmm.gif

It really depends on your needs. The 1001 is the model mentioned in the review comparing with the Solo HD. The 3001 is up against the Studio while the 2001 is in between the 1001 and 2001.

you guys are dam good

last time i started with Philips. Then went to Sennheiser HD280pro, now HD380. i became a sort of Sennheiser loyalist.
just now i was recommended by you guys to get the AKG 240mkII

and for the source, at first i just used my Acer laptop, then i went for a Soundblaster USB 5.1. now i am recommended an Fii0 E10.

I read the reviews and i can't wait to get these babies!!!!

but i'm wondering, what if money is not an issue? what is the ultimate combination?

Yeah . The white and red look so tempting for her to use .
I kind a agree at replica part . But people say that Fanny Wanng sq better than beats solo . Clear Sound . Not to much bass .

How much will the shipping cost . I think around 30usd right ?

The exact budget would be around rm500 .
thx for the recommendation . but i think she like a headphone with alittle bit trendy . striking colour .

Atrio M5 looks good .

Again, headphones are subjected to 15% import duty and 10% sales tax imposed by the Malaysian Custom and Excise department. What about warranty hmm.gif Even if the seller is going to replace a new unit for your faulty unit, the same duty and tax applies to the new replacement unit as well. nod.gif

would like to ask sifus here. i spoiled quite couple of earphones in the past. all of them have the same problem - one side not working. this problem annoys me to no end mad.gif so i decided to fork out more this time and get a more decent one. i would like to know are expensive earphones longer lasting?

thanks in advance. sorry noob in earphones

QUOTE(vaMz @ Dec 13 2011, 10:22 PM)
I'm looking for an ear phone which can be used for both jogging(using iphone4) as well as my computer (fed up of getting headphone hair)

1) Budget $200 or below (but must be durable)
2) Good fit for jogging and be [COLOR=green]sweat resistant
3) The wire should be long enough since my desktop pc is on the floor
4) Deliver good bass since I mostly listen to hip hop, I'm not really an audiophile though
5) Preference on ear clip ones but open to anything.

I was considering sennheiser adidas sport series but saw some mixed reviews and also can't really make up my mind since there's so many models.

I'm open to other brands as long it fits my criteria, btw is there any store in Johor bahru that sells earphones? Will be great if I could drop by and test out different models etc.

Hope you guys can help me out!

Sports earphones do not come with long cable for practical reason, you may need an extension instead for your PC.

AD700 doesnt have bass but it's a  great all-rounder headphone... cant bring out... not portable compared to m50... but great soundstage as it's wider compared to m50...

M50 ( suits all bass songs like r&b and rock songs ) and it's closed can so no noise leak... =D
